Power & Performance

The 5.0-liter V8 engine generates 385 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque. Depending on configuration, an F-150 with this engine can tow up to 11,100 pounds.

With the Ford F-150 King Ranch, you can select either the V8 or the top-of-the-line turbocharged 3.5-liter V6. The latter is also available for the Lariat. This year, the 3.5-liter V6 engine boosts output to 375 horses and 470 pound-feet of torque. Use this engine to tow max loads of 12,200 pounds.

Tech Features

Here the Ford F-150 King Ranch has a slight edge. It comes standard with the 360-degree split-view camera system, so you can keep an eye on your rearview and take a top-down look at the King Ranch simultaneously. The King Ranch also supplies a 110-volt, household-style power outlet, so you can recharge power tools and laptops on the go.

Of course, the F-150 Lariat still delivers all the important smartphone integration features, like voice-to-text messaging and music streaming. The Sync 3 infotainment system includes a responsive central touchscreen, giving you quick access to important apps, such as navigation.
